One answer is that https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/120132/ uses
the revision ID. In this case a wrong revision ID would only cause a
cosmetic issue, but I can imagine that other code in the amdgpu-pro
stack really needs the correct revision ID to accurately identify the GPU.

I hope the release can wait for the patch above to land as well.
